Default underside restoration

hi guys

i want to make a start to restore the underside of my fiesta turbo

looking on the restoration section it seems what most people have done after it's been striped down is to apply stonechip guard and possibly waxoyl it after that

where do i buy these products from?

i've never done it before so any coments/advice would help

paul

if you have never done it before mate i would suggest you get a mechanics creeper so you can move under the car easily, also a good set of goggles as shit gets in your eyes(only got one pair so look after em)
blowtorch would help to remove stubborn stuff. i found a wire wheel in the end of a drill is good, also get the car as high as (safeley) possible

you can get stonechip from halfrauds or any good car shop.
hth. cheers mark.

If it,s just STONE CHIP and WAX OIL then go to halfords,they sell it all there.You can get better products like SPRAYABLE SEALER but this costs more and you need a compressor and other specialist equipment to apply it.
